FOXGLOVES

Pink-purple foxglovesLeaning to the breeze—And all the sweet of DevonSweeps back across the seas:The deep coombs of DevonWhere the tiny hamlets nest,The golden sea of DevonThat glimmers toward the west:The thatched roofs of DevonTo which the soft skies bend—Now the dear God keep DevonThe same to His world’s end!

Pink-purple foxgloves

Leaning to the breeze—

And all the sweet of Devon

Sweeps back across the seas:

The deep coombs of DevonWhere the tiny hamlets nest,The golden sea of DevonThat glimmers toward the west:

The deep coombs of Devon

Where the tiny hamlets nest,

The golden sea of Devon

That glimmers toward the west:

The thatched roofs of DevonTo which the soft skies bend—Now the dear God keep DevonThe same to His world’s end!

The thatched roofs of Devon

To which the soft skies bend—

Now the dear God keep Devon

The same to His world’s end!
